Cocotte is one of the newest French restaurants to open up. I've heard mixed reviews about this place...so during one HK holiday...we decided to go check it out for lunch. I thought the lunch price was pretty reasonable and I liked the space! I didn't go for dinner though, which is what I usually like to write about...since I get to eat and try more of the food! ;)What do you fancy for lunch? We both went for the EXPRESS LUNCH....no desserts.Bread for the table.I went with the cold soup...gazpac

Bread for the table.
I went with the cold soup...gazpacho medley, with lots of veggies. I loved the strong tomato fragrance and refreshing aftertaste!
Steak tartare with truffle egg yolk and sour dough croute..which came out a bit questionable. The colour was a bit brown....but after reassuring us that this would be normal....I devoured a bite or two and it really was pretty darn tasty! Especially that secret sauce in that jar. Delicious!
I ordered the codfish mediterranean style with spiced ginger polenta, ratatouille, and red beet reduction as my main. The presentation was really beautiful, but as I tasted the codfish...it was really overly salty,...to the point that the ginger polenta (which has a soft, mild taste to it) became the only thing I really liked about this dish. :/
The steak frites...the fries were really tasty, along with that mustard sauce but the steak itself was a bit overcooked...I think overall the food still needs a bit of improvement but the service, atmosphere was really good. Worth a try??! I think so...just hope next time the mains would be better...or maybe I just ordered wrong....
